They introduced themselves as his grandparents. Apparently, his parents thought that he was an abomination. I had the urge to have Hippie, our tech guru find his parents and give them a piece of my mind.
I knew Tank was of the same mindset as I was due to the clenching of his jaw.
Seeing the smiles on their faces as they all climbed off the bikes they were on and then got on our bikes was so worth the four-hour bike ride here and then the same one right back.
Every member who had a bike in this donated a hundred dollars.
We had raised over fifty thousand dollars. That was all thanks to the two hundred bikers that had shown up. As well as donations from people, food, and merchants that donated their profits to the cause.
Walking with Lena at my side we followed the guys into a nearby diner.
Thankfully, half the diner was open, so the guys pulled tables together.
I sat down beside Tank, with Lena to my right.
We had just placed our orders for food and then got our drinks when I leaned into Lena.
Smiling, I said, “That was a blast, right?”
She giggled, and then nodded, “So worth it.”
Once we got our food, a new route was discussed because apparently there was a bad accident on one of the roads.
“You turn eighteen next week, you excited?” Tank asked me as he dipped his fry in ketchup and then placed it in his mouth.
I nodded, “So ready.”
With a raised brow, he asked, “Why’s that?”
I shrugged my shoulders, and then said, “Oh, a few things really.”
With the same brow raised, he asked, “Care to share them with me.”
“Well… one thing is that graduation is right around the corner.” And it really was. I turn eighteen the week before graduation.
And then in two months, I’ll be starting at the community college. Thankfully, Lena was of the same mindset as I was.
We both took college classes online to better ourselves. So, we both only needed two years at college, and we would both have our degrees.
“I really am proud of you Raine. I know it hasn’t been easy, but damn, you’ve been killing it.” He was right too.
I always sent him my test scores, to which he always replied with; Damn, fucking proud.
“What else are you excited about being the big eighteen?” He asked with a smirk.
Upon seeing that smirk, I shook my head, “Hmmm, a girl’s got to keep a few secrets.”
He lost that smirk, and then narrowed his eyes, “Not from me.”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Guess you’ll have to wait and see then.”
And then I swore I heard him mumble under his breath, “One minute past midnight. Come the fuck on time.”
But before I could question him further, my father stood up and then said, “Daylight’s burning. Time to hit the road.”
We all mounted up and then made the long trek home.
And quite a few times, Tank’s hand rested on the back of my calf.
